The new front-end system I mentioned in the "Say What?!" posting also automatically loads stories onto the website, and it tends to randomly grab one photo out of the layout to serve as the main photo. This time, it happened to grab a shot of a pig carcass that had been a supporting photo.

I don't like looking at human guts... so I didn't become a doctor.
Don't like dead animals... so I'm not a chef or a vet. (and I don't eat meat, if that makes you feel any better CG).
Dont like dead humans... so I'm not a coroner.

I don't think photos of any of the above belong on the cover of a local newspaper's web site.
So sue me.

Barry- Thanks for changing it. And for not putting it on the printed paper today. :)

Hey, I don't like half the stuff I see or read in most newspapers, and I feel that much of what is published today is not newsworthy. And don't even get me started on the disgusting things I hear and see on TV on a daily basis!
-But I'm not going to tell a business what they "can" or "cannot" publish / print in THEIR paper or on THEIR television channels.

No need to sue you.
Don't like it, don't look at it, don't read it. ETC.....
In other words...........Move on to something you DO like.

And why are you picking on ME? I believe your friend golfaddict said he saw nothing wrong with the picture either.
-Everyone's tastes are different.

You saw a dead animal. Some of us saw a tasty BBQ.
-Made me want to go hunting! ;-)

Had it been a written description of something I dislike, I wouldn't have read the article. But a blaring photo on the cover page can't be missed. Sorry CG.. I can't turn a blind eye to things like you can.

Ahhh....you should know me better than that my dear. When do I turn a blind eye to something I disagree with?

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I agree with you missy. All you did was voice your opinion on the picture, which you have every right to do. Public forums need to be aware of ALL their readers / viewers. While some pitures will be seen as normal to some, they may be seen as disgusting to others (especially younger viewers). They need to be sensitive to that, which is why I'm sure the photo was removed.
I'm of the firm belief that people shouldn't tell businesses how to operate THEIR company. However, businesses have to be sensitive to their clients as well, if they want to keep them.

You win...................I apologize.
-Heck, I don't even want to go hunting anymore.....:-(

Apology accepted :)
I think most people can identify an inciting photo when they see one. Even if they personally aren't offended.
I'm not a Christian, but I am outraged when "artists" depict Jesus in a demeaning way. Yup... even when they put Obama's face on Jesus' body.
Not to say BTBarry meant to put it there... cuz I know he didn't.

When I was little (maybe 11 or 12 years old), I made the mistake of opening a letter from an animal rights group - they were looking for donations. In it was a brochure full of photos of the most atrocious, despicable acts a human can do to an animal. I'm 40, and I still can't get those images out of my head. I guess I might be a little sensitive...

But anyway, great photo of Ted. I'm sure he is quite deserving of the praise. Maybe I could talk him into making a BBQ tofu?
